1042.0. "The Juror" by EDSCLU::JAYAKUMAR () Wed Feb 28 1996 14:11

Surprised noone started a topic on this yet.

	Its about a juror being intimidated by the drug mafias, to get a 
not-guilty verdict on their accused gang leader.

- The plot is quite gripping till the very end, but most of it is a bit 
  unrealistic though!

- I felt Demi Moore was wasted in this movie. She fits better in movies with
  lots of steamy scenes (Disclosure). I felt let down -):

	Would recommend this one.

I haven't seen this one yet, but the trailers indicate that the basic
idea was done recently in a movie called "Trial by Jury."
I picked that up on a rental a couple of months ago and was modestly
impressed.
Comparisons between the two would seem to be in order.

    Comparisons would be an understatement; unbridled plagerism would be a
    closer topic. The original movie was so-so and this new one is even
    less plausible.
